Proper Technique for Handling Mantids?

[skiblits]

I was too scared to handle my first mantis but the next mantis I get I would like to be able to handle when I need to clean the tank. What is the proper method for handling mantids and coaxing them onto your hand?

Using the forum's search function against the word "Handling" yields a lot of information you might appreciate. But here's one recent thread on this topic with some good tips: mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=23011
